My Publix Trip - Paid twenty cents

This week Publix had a couple good deals so I printed some coupons and got a few BOGO deals. I couldn't believe my store wasn't wiped clean and I was able to get all the items I sought. The Beneful is a nice product because the small 3 oz serving of wet food is all my dog needs on top of her kibble and she'll eat the whole bowl. Being a senior dog and light eater, she often goes more than a day without eating. I think its a game to get the wet food from me, but since she's a thin dog the wet food isn't a problem.

I also like the fish and we eat it a couple times a week. The Publix coupon is no longer available to print, but you can try to find the Family Savings booklet in the store. There are several other good BOGO coupons still available to print at www.getthesavings.com/publixfamily . Ok, back to the fish. Even though its not the recommended preparation instructions to microwave that's what I do. I cook the 2 filets in the 1000 watt microwave for 6 minutes, then again on the grill setting for 4 minutes. They come out perfect.

So, this week I had two orders to maximize use of the $5 off $30 Winn Dixie coupon. Did you hear that in Tampa, Winn Dixie will take competitor coupons now? That is awesome. Actually, I noticed I through in the picture my cantaloupe and lettuce from a third order I did for my raincheck on Powerade, so those items aren't in my spreadsheet above. Anyway, I spent twenty cents (0.20) and saved $124.56, for close to 100% savings. Here is link to spreadsheet if you want

About Me

Frugal living isn’t about self-denial, at least not absolutely.
It’s about logically and purposely putting our resources toward specific
accomplishments. Occasionally, interspersing my frugal life with luxuries is
tremendously rewarding, as long as those luxuries don’t derail me from the
track. In fact, I recommend it.

On some
level, we should all try to be more conscious of where our money goes, and
better understand the connection between our time and work, and between time
and money. This will help us reach our life goals through a combination of watchful
spending and disciplined saving.
